2012: Build

Allow
the students to experience the design process, by devoting a lot of time
to design.

Steer
the students to a simple design so the students will be able to do all the
build tasks themselves and take ownership of the robot.

Finish
the build early so the students can have fun driving the robot before bag
and tag and also show off their work to fellow students.

This philosophy is aligned with our goal laying down a
strong foundation for the team’s growth.Once the team is under way and the skill set of the team and mentors
grow, we will expand to more complex engineering tasks. We realized that even the simplest FRC robot
is very complex and will yield a tremendous challenge for the students.
